Like a number of European artists working during this period in non-figurative styles, Bionda attached great importance to the expressive potential of the surface of the work of art. In this painting the surface is built up from a combination of oil, chalk and synthetic resin and is energetically incised. Although Bionda was very much at home with the post-war generation of 'Informal' artists his own paintings are related to impressions of landscape.
